- Mounted sepia-toned photograph of the Clark Avenue, Woodmere, and Delray horse-drawn streetcar, number 34, run by the Fort Wayne and Elmwood Railway. The driver stands on the step to his platform. Three passengers lean out the car's windows. Another man stands behind the car in the background. A wooden fence and a row of trees are in the background. The road beneath the rails is dirt, and dried mud covers the front of the car behind where the horse is hitched. "Wabash" appears to be painted on the front of the car. The photo is mounted on green paperboard.
